Crazy credits
CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #490

When I was in second grade I brought home a report card with mediocre grades and a handwritten comment from my teacher saying I was the class clown, and perhaps I needed to get more attention at home. My father complied by giving me a little whack on the back of the head and telling me to quit being a jackass. He then turned on the TV, put his arm around me, and we watched The Honeymooners.

Lesson learned.

Mad News/Sad News

First of all, Penny finds out that Amy has been doing experiments where she is being compared to a chimpanzee. There is a really funny bit where Penny thinks of past encounters. Stuart is finally opening the comic book store and Howard is furious that some of the furniture from his house appears in the store. The show ends with some sad news that brings all the combatants together.
